Mayawati didn’t protect dalits from atrocities: Rahul Gandhi


Lashing out against Mayawati for recurrent atrocities and crime against dalits and poor, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said she did not protect them from atrocities during the last five years.  During her tenure crime and atrocities against dalits and poor rather increased, said Rahul Gandhi while campaigning in the poll bound state.  According to the National Crime Bureau Records (NCRB), Uttar Pradesh has registered sharp increase of 19.2 percent in the crime against Dalit followed by Rajasthan with 15.20 percent and Andhra Pradesh with 13.20 percent respectively. The recurrent spate in the number of brutalities against dalits (Scheduled caste) in Uttar Pradesh confirms that Mayawati neither safeguarded the interests of dalits and poor nor protected them against atrocities and crime.  As per NCRB report, out of the 6,272 cases 229 murder, 311 rape, 248 abduction cases were registered including 5,484 other crimes against Dalits. Dalits girls and women suffered the maximum atrocities during her period. Highlighting that Mayawati was more concerned with their votes, Rahul Gandhi said his party has promised to establish at least one women police station in each district for them.
